When I crewed on Millenium, Chris Carter said (no doubt in spite of the best creative intentions meeting a pressing need for a place to spend some X-Files cheddar double quick) that he didn't want a 'Serial Killer Of The Week' show...But every episode presented yet another overwritten hyper-intelligent psychopath whose reign of terror would be forestalled in the third act by Frank Black's mystic mentalisms, and then only at a massive psychic cost to himself.

One could draw a parallel betwixt that fictive dilemma and the current deathmatch of witlessness among Republican and Democratic political representatives if one had a mildly Procrustean bent...But f*ck it, I'd rather play the many fine drinking games that you two worthies have offered this week.

On Lost - they decided on an end date for the series about three years ago, and mapped out the overall season arcs. As of two years ago at least, they had the final shot of the series decided. (This comes from the writers.) I like the show, and am hoping they pull it all off.
